My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 713 - 240: Naming, Test_2

The colleague seemed tempted, genuinely thinking it was a recruitable talent. But when he scrolled up and saw the abbreviated name of the author, he burst into laughter, "You’re pulling my leg! This is the very talent Blue Star University has been striving to secure lately. If I were to poach her to the research institute, I’m sure I’d be invited for a talk by Blue Star University’s leadership first."

Blue Star University is the representative academic institution of the Blue Star Empire. Many of its leaders are actually connected to the Empire’s upper echelons. The colleague might have the guts to think about it, but not the guts to do it!

With the instigation plan failing, the person in charge shrugged with slight disappointment, though this outcome was within his expectations. He chatted a bit more with the colleague before watching him rush off to handle matters.

The person in charge shifted slightly, making both himself and the chair return to their original positions. He reviewed Miao Miao’s thesis a few more times. Spending nearly three hours on it, he finally submitted the thesis with some regret.

The Imperial Research Institute receives numerous submissions daily, yet less than one percent get published. Passing through the person in charge is just the initial selection. It still has to undergo at least three more layers of filtering, each layer stricter than the last. The harshness of the selection process rivals the annual military officer exam pass rate of the Military Department—out of over 4,000 officers participating yearly, at most only fifty pass.

The person in charge believes Miao Miao’s paper will be published. After all, the Imperial Research Institute doesn’t consider the submitter’s credentials or status. If the work is good, even a criminal judged by the interstellar court can have their work accepted.

But the person in charge was indeed regretful. Such good talent, and yet the Imperial Research Institute couldn’t recruit her! Ah, the more he thought about it, the more regretful he became...

Miao Miao’s article was indeed published on the Imperial Research Institute’s Star Network account, placed prominently in the first position. Almost everyone who opened the Institute’s account could immediately see Miao Miao’s thesis— "On the Feasibility of Time Travel, and Current Analysis".

[——Am I seeing things? The author of the first paper... same name, right? "RubEyes.JPG"

——Miao Miao... sounds familiar, seems to be His Majesty’s girlfriend? And still a student at Blue Star University, right?

——Wow, you haven’t been online for long, have you? Miao Miao has already graduated from Blue Star University. I heard Blue Star University has sent her a professor’s invitation, but she hasn’t agreed yet; she’s still considering it! 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

——Wow, I just came out of the lab, wanted to see if the research institute pushed any good articles. Why are the words in this thesis so sharp... but it’s indeed well-written. This author Miao Miao’s writing skills are better than some of my seniors!

——Hey, the ID of the person in front looks familiar... Seems like this person had articles pushed by the research institute a few times before? A big deal!

...

——In my impression, Miao Miao seemed like an inconspicuous little sister beside the lady. In the blink of an eye, she became a top student at Blue Star University, and in another blink, she’s become His Majesty’s girlfriend, occasionally flaunting their relationship. How is it that by my third blink, her thesis can already be published by the Imperial Research Institute?

——Talented people are just that talented!

——Sigh, I used to think our Miao Miao and His Majesty were a perfect match, but now when I look, Miao Miao and His Majesty seem not quite compatible anymore... His Majesty seems a bit... unworthy of Miao Miao!

——Well said, let’s not even talk about appearance and status. Just age—how old is Miao Miao? In her early thirties! How old is His Majesty? Over a hundred! Though we in the Star Era don’t have age discrimination, just thinking about Miao Miao still being a young girl... eek! His Majesty seems a bit predatory!

——Wow... someone write a petition with their blood! Please leave Miao Miao to us!

The first to notice the online discussions was not Miao Miao nor Du Xixi and the others, but Chen Yin.

He had always paid attention to all news about Miao Miao. From insider information, he knew Miao Miao’s paper was going to be published by the Imperial Research Institute. Every day, he would take some time to check the Star Network, just to see Miao Miao’s paper at the earliest. However, he hadn’t finished reading the thesis when he got angry seeing the comments below.

The solemn and composed His Majesty Chen Yin slapped the heavy desk with his palm. A pile of official documents, stacked like a small mountain on the desk, trembled. Next to him, the Rob deftly handed over a cup of lukewarm water, its tone calm, "Master, have some water to cool down first."
